Dear Arachnids Books on Demand sounds very interesting. I have been planning computer printing and comb binding my Torchon Drafting book as I doubt if I would get sufficient sales for a 1000 book print, but this sounds interesting. I have had a look at the web site for Blackwells and it sounds sim

Didn't want to do a bookmark. So I drew up this design to give it a try and see how it worked. I intended it to be a pendent for a necklace. Could be anything. But thought I would share the pattern with you. It is just a tape lace pattern. Great design, Mark! Good use of the short
